After seeing Xiao Wanbo vomiting blood due to resentment, Li Ling smiled even happier, and at the same time she felt that Qingxiao's gift of her armor saved her again this time.

Because of the existence of a sinister enemy like Luotian Sect, and the assassination in Huating County, Li Ling has developed a habit over the years. No matter whenever he sleeps at home, he will wear armor close to his body. This time, his good habit saved his life again. Although this time it still hurt him very much, it was not something that his little body could withstand when he was hit by his chest.

Fortunately, Shao Qiuxi was still there. Seeing this, he quickly rubbed his chest and made his internal injuries slightly healed. Then he turned around and came to Xiao Wanbo again, looking at him and said, "At this point, are you still unwilling to tell where the shadow is?"

"Hahaha..." Xiao Wanbo vomited blood and laughed bitterly, looking at the other party, but he looked at a fool, "Do you think I am like you, and will betray the Holy Sect for your own selfish interests? I am going to die, don't even think about getting even a little from my mouth!" As he said that, he suddenly took a long breath, his chest suddenly bulged, and then a large stream of blood shot out. His eyes were also blurred in an instant. After staring at Li Ling and Shao Qiuxi, he lowered his head and widened his eyes, but lost his breath.

It was actually using such decisive and ruthless tricks to kill him quickly, which made Li Ling admire this person's decisiveness. This may be the reason why Luo Tian Cult has been unable to completely eliminate it for so many years, because these fanatical guys really can ignore life and death for the sake of the affairs in the sect.

Shao Qiuxi, who avoided the blood flying towards him, was a little silent. After sighing, he hummed: "This is a difficult thing."

"Senior Shao, what's going on?" It was not until this time that Li Ling asked about the other party's current situation, "Why are you here? How could you save me by such a coincidence?"

"Because I entered Yunzhou City a month ago, to track the shadows." Shao Qiuxi replied, and his eyes swept around and confirmed that there was no longer any living here. "I saw you when you entered the city before, and I was caught by them earlier, so I watched from the side. It was difficult to save you at that time, but since you have something to do with these Luotian Sect people, I will naturally save you."

"So that's it. Fortunately, I'm at the senior, otherwise I would be in danger..." Li Ling sighed sincerely, but the question in his heart was still not solved. The other party was not in the Central Plains, so why did he run to the northern border and sneak into Yunzhou in such a war? You know that in the past few months, the war here has not stopped for a day.

Of course, he was not doubting how Shao Qiuxi concealed the eyes of tens of thousands of people on both sides of the enemy and us and intervened in Yunzhou. Although this is extremely difficult for ordinary people, it is definitely not difficult for a master like Shao Qiuxi. What he cared about was the motivation for the other party to do so.

"Let's leave here first, I'm afraid the defeated Guirong army will come soon." Shao Qiuxi did not rush to give an answer, but pulled Li Ling to go out quickly. The latter also understood that he was right, so he nodded and followed. With Shao Qiuxi's help, the two of them quickly walked between the streets and alleys, and could avoid the defeated Guirong army from time to time, avoiding a lot of trouble.

It was not until he turned into a secluded corner that he stopped and explained: "In the past few years, I have been learning more deeply about Luotian Sect. I am not afraid of you making jokes. Although I was a middle and senior sect before, I really don't know much about many things, and I don't know how much harm the world they have done to achieve their goals.

"But in the past few years, I have truly seen what they did - in Jiangnan, they could incite the people to rebel for their own selfish desires, but they quickly withdrew from them afterwards, causing countless innocent people to suffer and die; in Huguang, they colluded with some wealthy gentry to try to control the fields and food, although they failed, but also caused many ordinary people to die, without food and clothing, and displaced; and what is even more terrifying is their various actions in the northern border this time, which is no longer an enemy of the imperial government, but clearly an enemy of the entire Central Plains. For their goals, they even led wolves into the house and put Guirong people in, trying to disrupt the northern border.

"It was after seeing all this with my own eyes that I really made a decision. I cannot ignore the righteousness of my family and country and allow the Luotian Cult to do whatever it is. What they did has long exceeded the justice they had previously claimed... so I decided to take action!"

Li Ling nodded. He did not ask too much about what kind of future love the other party had with the Luotian Sect. Everyone has their own past. There is no need to go into it too deeply. As long as they can distinguish right from wrong in the end, it is good.

Shao Qiuxi looked at Li Ling with some awareness, and continued, "Then, I found out that Shadow was going to take action in the northern border again. You should also know who this Shadow is. Once he takes action himself, the goal will be extraordinary."

"Shadow... are you talking about the shadow protector of Luo Tian Sect?" Li Ling's heart was shocked, thinking about the assassination he encountered in Huating County. At that time, only Shadow's disciple was assassinated, which was already so terrible. If he had to change to a real master, what would be the point when he got the chance to take action?

"It's him. He is as famous as me and is one of the top masters in the sect, but he is different from me. He has never confronted people head-on. His favorite thing is to plot assassination, and as long as he is targeted by him, no one can survive.

"And what makes him even more powerful is that he disguises himself, lurks, tracks, and endures to find opportunities. As long as he is targeted, he will spend several months or even a year to find opportunities and assassinate the other party. When I found out that he was going to take action in the northern border, I knew that the situation was not good, so I followed the clues and finally had a fight with him near Yunzhou, but he was injured and escaped. After that, he hid in Yunzhou City..."

His words were simple and light, but Li Ling could imagine how dangerous the battle between the two sides was. The duel of experts must be terrifying every step.

"And obviously, he entered Yunzhou not just to avoid my attack, but to have other plans. In other words, his target should be in Yunzhou or related. Unfortunately, I was one step behind and was blocked by the city. When I thought I could sneak into here smoothly, I could no longer find him. But there was one thing I could confirm, that is, he must still be in Yunzhou and his target was also here. In addition, this matter should be inseparable from Xiao Wanbo and the others!"

Li Ling listened carefully and his expression became more and more serious. As the other party said, the more he thought about this, the more he became more and more strange it was. Shao Qiuxi looked at Li Ling solemnly at this time, and did not speak anymore, but was waiting for him to make a judgment.

As a person who concentrates on martial arts and is focused on his mind, Shao Qiuxi knows that he is strong in martial arts cultivation, but his mind is far inferior to other people in the sect. And Li Ling, as a court official who can make Luo Tian Cult suffer losses many times, is obviously stronger than other people in the sect. This is also the reason why he is willing to spend time and talk about everything truthfully, and he hopes that he can see some clues.

Li Ling was thinking, and suddenly felt a sudden shiver: "Not good."

"What do you mean?" Shao Qiuxi asked quickly, but saw that Li Ling had a hint of panic in his expression: "Do you think that Yunzhou was too easy to break down this time?"

"Well? Didn't this be a trick to make the Guirong people attack and create an opportunity to break the city?" Shao Qiuxi asked, obviously he took everything in his eyes.

"After that being said, it seems too easy to look closely. If it were just Guirong people, we might be able to use this strategy to earn them out of the city, but Xiao Wanbo is still there. Since this person can gain the trust of Guirong people, he must be a resourceful person. How could he not see through our conspiracy and even push it in turn to make this happen faster?" Li Ling's expression became more and more serious. Looking back on the past, it seemed that he was the one who dominated the choice of Guirong people in the city. Is this true?

"You mean that all this was caused by Xiao Wanbo? But why?" Shao Qiuxi's heart skipped a beat. Xiao Wanbo was indeed known as a think tank in the Luotian Sect. This matter really seemed a little dull, which was inconsistent with his usual performance.

"Yes, why? He deliberately made Yunzhou fall, and at the same time it was related to the shadow who was good at sneak attacks and assassination... They were planning to profit from the chaos... And with the Luotian Cult's usual ambitions and means, is it really their ultimate goal? Or is it still just a false move of their attacks on the east and west, but actually has other plans? And to completely disrupt the northern border, the best way is to let the main generals get into trouble, such as assassinating Dong Shuai..." Li Ling's mind was spinning quickly and he also said it quickly, and then without being under his control, he inferred such a terrible reason.

And as soon as these words were said, not only him, but also Shao Qiuxi's face changed. The two looked at each other and took a breath: "Their target is Dong Shuai (Dong Gongwang)?"

Shao Qiuxi made a judgment in an instant: "So the shadow is around Gongwang. He is waiting for the opportunity. Once there is constant riots in the city, Gongwangwang's guards will definitely be weak, so that he can succeed and escape unstoppable!"

"Senior Shao, your footwork is much faster than mine. Please go and find Dong Shuai quickly and protect him!" Li Ling said quickly, "If you are late, I'm afraid everything will be too late!"

"What about you?"

"I just find a place to hide and go there. All things should be important!" Li Ling said seriously.
